Another burst of wanton lingering.
After hugging her for a while, Zhang Hua brought the clothes over.
I have to say that Zhang Hua handled matters very appropriately.
The clothes delivered were very suitable for Wen Ning.
Inside is a set of off-white cashmere skirt, which is soft and warm, with a light blue cashmere coat on top, which makes Wen Ning's skin extremely delicate and fair.
There was no jewelry, just a sapphire butterfly clip in her hair.
A very special clip, some retro style, very transparent sapphire blue, taken out from a somewhat old wooden box, Zhang Hua looked cautious when putting it on her.
Wen Ning was not very interested in these, but he could see that the clip was extremely expensive, so he wanted to take it off.
But before she could move, Lu Yanci's hand reached out and grabbed her wrist, "Huh?"
A simple word, with a strong sense of oppression and warning.
Wen Ning's heart trembled when he heard this, and he retracted his hand.
He said sarcastically: "Isn't it too flashy?"
Lu Yanci was very satisfied and touched her black hair, "It suits you very well."
The little thing is so thin, but his hair is black and shiny. It looks good when wearing this hairpin that his mother used to use.
Lu Yanci kissed her hair, wrapped his hand around her little hand, "Let's go."
The weather was already getting cold, so Lu Yanci wore a windbreaker of the same color over his suit, which made him look even more oppressive.
Wen Ning was pulled by him and felt that they looked a bit like the way the big guys walked on the red carpet in the movie. He couldn't help but chuckled, "Uncle, you have such a strong aura."
Lu Yanci obviously knew nothing about his beauty and aura. He glanced at her and said in a very calm tone, "Are you afraid of me?"
Wen Ning instantly felt that he was taciturn and boring, so he refused to speak anymore, lowered his head, and followed him step by step.
After walking a few steps, Lu Yanci suddenly stopped and said in a cold voice, "Wen Ning, everyone can be afraid of me, but you can't."
Wen Ning didn't understand why he suddenly said this.
But the fact is that she is not only afraid of him, she is scared to death.
But she didn't dare to say the word "fear", so she lowered her eyebrows and whispered: "Uncle, I don't dare."
Lu Yanci's eyes instantly turned cold, he frowned, and his voice was cold, "It's useless to be afraid."
After saying that, he let go of Wen Ning's hand and strode towards the hall.
Wen Ning felt a little baffled. He didn't know why he was suddenly angry, so he had to quickly follow him.
He was tall and had long legs, and his steps were long. In just a short time, Wen Ning was thrown twenty or thirty meters away.
When he reached the door of the private room, Lu Yanci stopped.
Just as he was about to turn around, the room opposite suddenly opened and a young girl came out.
The girl had long flowing hair, elegant temperament, and unusual beauty. Her beautiful eyes looked at Lu Yanci lovingly.
"Yan Ci!"
The pronunciation is a bit inaccurate, a bit like foreigners.
When Lu Yanci saw her, he frowned, "Qingzi?"
The girl named Qingzi's eyes immediately welled up with tears. She stepped forward and took Lu Yanci's arm, her voice choked with sobs, "Yanci, I miss you so much."
Lu Yan retracted his hand without leaving a trace, turned around and looked behind him, but there was no one behind him.
He frowned and turned his gaze to the pillar at the corner.
Sure enough, a white lambskin boot tip was revealed next to the pillar, as well as a pair of soft white hands that were clasped together uneasily.
"come out!"
Lu Yanci's voice was as cold as ever, but Wen Ning could hear a hint of displeasure in it.
She didn't mean to hide behind the pillar, but the place was empty and only this pillar could cover her.
She didn't know why she wanted to hide, but it seemed that only by hiding would she not be so embarrassed.
After all, when a beauty throws herself into her arms, it would be more appropriate for her to pretend not to notice.
When she heard Lu Yanci call "come out", she felt that he should be calling her, after all, the super beauty was standing next to him.
She hesitated for a moment, and just as she was thinking about whether to come out, Lu Yanci's voice sounded again, "Wen Ning!"
This time, there was obvious displeasure.
Wen Ning bit his lip and walked out slowly.
She didn't raise her head and walked quietly towards Lu Yanci, feeling the surprised gaze of the beautiful woman as she walked.
"Yan Ci, who is she?"
A beauty is a beauty. Although her pronunciation is not accurate, she is so soft and beautiful that Wen Ning feels inferior to her.
When Lu Yanci saw that Wen Ning was walking too slowly, he became a little impatient. With a sharp look in his eyes, he turned back and took two steps. With one hand, he took her into his arms.
His big hand wrapped around Wen Ning's small hand again, his voice was cold and unhappy, "Who told you to hide?"
Wen Ning whispered: "You have a friend, and she has something to do with you."
At this time, Qingzi looked at them, her body trembling, and she said in disbelief: "Yan Ci, who is she?"
"I'm his niece!"
Before Lu Yanci could speak, Wen Ning looked up at Qingzi and said in a soft but firm voice, "He is my brother-in-law."
Qingzi's eyes fell on the hands of the two of them, and she shook her head, her voice choked with sobs, "Yan Ci, I know that you and Miss Luo are engaged, but I don't mind, I will wait for you, even if I see you once a year, as long as you If you want me, I am willing to wait forever, but why..."
"Why can she do it but I can't?"
Lu Yanci's eyes became colder, and without even looking at Qingzi, he pinched Wen Ning's wrist in a punishing manner, so hard that Wen Ning almost broke out in a cold sweat.
He said coldly: "Miss Ida, since you know that I am engaged to someone else, please stop pestering me. I am not interested in you."
Haruko's eyes were fixed on their hands and she almost cried, "I have been waiting for you for many years, why should she choose her instead of me?"
Lu Yanci said coldly: "We are just alumni, I don't need to explain this to you, get out of the way!"
Qingzi had been guarding him for a whole day, and she was not willing to leave at any time.
He stepped forward and grabbed Lu Yanci's arm, "Yan Ci, please have me. I am willing to line up behind her. I can be the fourth or fifth servant. I just want you to look at me..."
At this time, the private room door opened, and a handsome man in a suit and leather shoes with silver-rimmed glasses appeared inside.
When he saw the scene outside, he was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled and said in impure Chinese: "Yan Ci, you are really blessed to have all the people together, the girls all look up to you."
Lu Yanci directly shook off Haruko's hand and said in a cruel voice, "Ichiro Ida, I'm warning you, if your sister comes to harass me again, the cooperation between Nanfeng Group and your Ida family will end here."
Ida was stunned for a moment, his expression was a bit ugly, and then he immediately returned to his humble smile, "Yes, yes, it's all because of my lack of consideration."
"Someone, send the eldest lady back to her room to rest."
Two people immediately came out of the room, pulling Haruko towards the end of the corridor.
Qingzi looked back at Lu Yanci while crying.
Although she didn't cry loudly, it could be said that she cried delicately, but the cry was the saddest and most heartbreaking sound Wen Ning had ever heard.
The way Qingzi looked back at Lu Yanci made her heart tremble.
It contains the deepest love, the strongest despair, and a hint of madness.
Wen Ning's heart skipped a beat, feeling that this look was particularly familiar.
She moved her hands uneasily and said in a very low voice, "Uncle, I'm a little scared."
Lu Yanci pulled her into the private room, placed her next to him, and whispered: "What happened last time won't happen. Eat well and don't run around!"
The private dining room is very large, and it looks like it is for business use.
The dining table is also very long and elegant.
The people sitting next to them were obviously Lu Yanci's men, and they kept saying "Hello, Mr. Lu" one after another.
Sitting opposite are the people from Ida. Those people have the shrewd and humble temperament of the Eastern people, and they can be distinguished from the Chinese at a glance.
But Wen Ning was in no mood to care about this, as all he could think about was the look in Qingzi's eyes when he was taken away just now.
She felt extremely uneasy. This uneasiness and the feeling of being afraid of Lu Yanci were two different things. She always felt that something terrible was going to happen.
Although Wen Ning had high expectations for the Japanese food this time, Wen Ning had no appetite at all after what happened just now.
After reluctantly eating a little, he said to Lu Yanci: "Uncle, I don't feel well and want to go back."
Looking at the almost untouched meal on her plate, Lu Yanci frowned and said in a deep voice, "Are you not used to it? I thought it was just okay when I ate it. Go back and ask Zhang Hua to make something new for you."
Wen Ning lowered his head and said softly, "Yeah."
Lu Yanci saw that she was not in good spirits and looked a little languid, so he thought she was sick again, so he raised his hand and touched her forehead, but found nothing unusual.
"Want to sleep?"
Wen Ning lowered his eyes, feeling the uneasiness in his heart getting bigger and bigger, and whispered: "Uncle, can we go back?"
For the first time, when she expressed her wishes outside, she used the word "we".
Lu Yanci was a little surprised.
If this request had been made before, he would have definitely agreed.
But today he is the master. Although the guests are people he does not want to see, his upbringing and the actual situation do not allow him to leave at this time.
He whispered: "I'll ask Li Nan to take you back."
Wen Ning bit his lip and twisted his soft white hands together. After a while, he whispered, "I want you to go back with me."
Her voice was soft, with a hint of pleading, and this was definitely the first time she had made a request to him in so long.
This made Lu Yanci soften half of his heart, and his voice softened a little, "Good boy, let Li Nan take you back first. I'll be back in a while."
Wen Ning said softly, "Okay."
When she reached the door, she couldn't help but turn around and look at Lu Yanci. She didn't go out until she saw him getting up and walking toward her when he felt something was wrong.
Outside the door, Lu Yanci shook her soft hand and whispered, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Wen Ning shook his head and suddenly stepped forward to hug Lu Yanci's waist. His voice was trembling, "Uncle, I'm a little scared."
Lu Yanci was stunned for a moment, feeling his heart suddenly soften. He rubbed her hair and whispered: "Ning Ning, don't be afraid. This is not the hotel last time. This hotel belongs to me. Li Nan is still the national Sanda champion. So, that won’t happen again.”
Wen Ning shook his head, his mind filled with the last glimpse of Qingzi just now.
Affectionate, desperate, without a glimmer of hope.
She grabbed Lu Yanci's clothes and whispered: "That Qingzi..."
Lu Yanci thought she was jealous, "She is just an alumnus of mine, nothing more."
Wen Ning said nothing and leaned against his chest. After listening to his strong heartbeat for a while, she felt that her panic was not so bad anymore. She slowly let go of him and said, "Uncle, go in, they are still waiting for you. "
Seeing that she still looked lackluster, Lu Yanci touched her little face and said, "I'll take you back."
Wen Ning rubbed her face against his hand and shook her head, "No need, uncle, it's safe here."
It is indeed safe. In the past few days, she has not heard the voices of Lu Xue and Lu Xizhou again, and there is no one or thing that she doesn't like.
Everything is under Lu Yanci's control.
Lu Yanci turned to Li Nan and said, "Send her back."
Li Nan nodded and looked at Wen Ning, "Miss Wen, let's go."
In fact, he felt that this matter was quite unnecessary. The mistress also looked at people too closely.
No matter how big this hotel is, how big can it be? But it’s only a few steps away, where do I need to send it?
However, he didn't dare to say what he was thinking, so he still followed Wen Ning.
When he was about a hundred or two hundred meters away from the courtyard, Wen Ning suddenly stopped.
She stared at the small pavilion in front of her, motionless, and her expression was blank.
Li Nan thought she saw something strange and followed her gaze.
As a result, I saw the woman from Japan, named Ida Haruko, standing in the pavilion looking at them.
The strange look in his eyes made Li Nan feel a little uncomfortable.
He was about to speak when he heard Wen Ning's voice, "Manager Li, is this woman named Qingzi my uncle's girlfriend abroad?"
Li Nan shook his head, "I don't know much about this. Although I followed him for two years, I was mainly responsible for the affairs of China."
Wen Ning looked at Qingzi and thought she was as beautiful as a painting. She was simply prettier than any movie star. She was definitely the most beautiful woman she had ever seen.
She murmured: "She is so beautiful, why doesn't my uncle like her?"
This beautiful woman has ended up like this, and her retribution will only come more violently.
Lu Yanci had just admitted that he and Luo Ying were engaged.
Therefore, now her identity is that of his pet, a mistress that everyone can yell at, and she is not even as good as this woman.
Li Nan didn't see her pale face, but just frowned and said, "She is from Japan. What the mistress dislikes the most is the Japanese people, including her family, her brother, and the mistress."
Wen Ning whispered: "But her background is not her fault."
This woman, she just liked Lu Yanci, but Lu Yanci was really unfeeling towards her.
It's like, just as unfeeling as my father back then.
At this time, Qingzi walked towards Wen Ning.
In a few steps, she reached Wen Ning. She looked at Wen Ning with tears in her eyes.
"Are you Yan Ci's new girlfriend? Can I say a few words to you?"
His voice was extremely humble, almost pleading as he spoke to her.
Wen Ning thought of his mother back then, who also begged the mistress in the same way. Her mother was obviously from a good background and was a famous college student in 985, but because of a man, she was so humble that she could be trampled on by others.
Women, as long as they have true feelings, they will not end well?
When Qingzi saw that Wen Ning was silent, she thought she would not agree, so she hurriedly said, "Just say a few words, please."
Wen Ning looked up at her, "Okay."
Li Nan frowned and was about to stop her when Wen Ning said, "Manager Li, I'll just say a few words to her in that pavilion so you can see it, okay?"
Li Nan glanced at the pavilion and then looked at Qingzi. He felt that there was nothing dangerous about her. "Okay, but don't let the mistress know about this. He hates this Japanese woman very much."
Although his voice was very low, the words still reached Haruko's ears word for word.
Qingzi's body trembled violently, and then she whispered: "I'll wait for you over there."
When the two of them arrived at the pavilion, before Wen Ning could speak, Qingzi said, "I'm causing trouble for you."
Wen Ning shook his head and looked at Qingzi carefully.
As she got closer, she felt that Haruko was even more beautiful. Under the light, her beauty had a slightly otherworldly quality.
"You like my uncle?"
Haruko nodded, "Yes, when I was fifteen years old, when I saw him for the first time, I swore not to marry him but him. But he didn't like me, so I quit again and again. After ten years of waiting, I still couldn't get him back. He looked at me."
"Later I found out that he had a fiancée in China, so I planned to wait for him forever as my lover, but he didn't even give me this chance."
Her voice was extremely bitter, "I know that he doesn't like us Japanese people, but I can't change this. I am Japanese and a member of the Ida family."
She raised her head and looked in the direction of Lu Yanci's lobby.
Wen Ning felt that there was no anger in her eyes.
She felt flustered, and just when she was about to say something, Haruko spoke, "Do you like him?"
Wen Ning was stunned.
Do you like Lu Yanci?
She didn't dare answer the question.
Qingzi said again: "Don't like him. It's too hard. You are still so young. There will be many boys to like in the future. Don't like a heartless person. Do you know that when he was studying abroad in our school, there were many people around him?" I like him, but no one can impress him, he has no heart."
"His heart is all given to that Miss Luo. He only likes Miss Luo. We are nothing."
Haruko murmured: "But I want him to remember me. I want him to remember me for the rest of his life."
"The living cannot compete with the dead."
She slowly walked towards Lu Yanci's dining hall.
In the cold wind, Haruko was dressed very thinly, without a coat, and looked extremely fragile.
Wen Ning looked at her back and opened his mouth, but not a word came out.
All she could think of was the phrase "The living cannot compete with the dead!"
Her whole body trembled, and uneasy fear strangled her throat. She wanted to rush forward and grab Haruko, but her feet seemed to be rooted and unable to move.
She wanted to scream, but couldn't make a sound.
The bright red blood and the incomplete state of her mother's death were swirling in her mind. She was in so much pain that she could hardly breathe.
After an unknown amount of time, someone suddenly shouted, "There's someone up there, upstairs!"
Wen Ning looked up suddenly and saw Qingzi, dressed in white, standing on the roof of the fourth floor.
In the night, she couldn't see her expression clearly, but she knew she was determined to die.
"The living cannot compete with the dead!"
Before my mother died, she said the same thing.
Wen Ning's whole body was cold. Looking at the people upstairs, he seemed to see blood all over the ground.
"boom!"
After a gunshot, the person on the fourth floor instantly fell down and landed in the small garden not far from her.
Wen Ning woke up, breathed heavily, and rushed forward.
Haruko was lying in a pool of blood. The bullet penetrated her forehead, leaving a small bright red hole on it. It was so bloody and terrible.
Wen Ning stayed where he was, seeing Qingzi's beautiful eyes widened just now, but they were no longer alive.
She stared blankly at Haruko's body. The pictures in front of her overlapped with those of her mother's death. These pictures collided crazily in her mind, making her unable to hear the voices of the people around her, and she gradually couldn't see her surroundings clearly. things.
She stood there, her insides burning, but her whole body was cold, until a hand held her up.
